Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus your enquiries on the mechanical failures recorded in September 2025. Specifically, ask for evidence that the steering headbearing was replaced or properly adjusted, as excessive wear at 7,890 miles is unusual for this age of vehicle. Check that the registration plate now fully conforms to UK legal requirements to avoid future MOT issues.
Verify the service history to see if the drive chain has been regularly tensioned and lubricated. Use the premature wear of the headbearing and chain as a point of negotiation, as these suggest the bike may not have been maintained to a high standard despite the low mileage.
With a 124cc engine, this motorcycle is designed for high fuel efficiency and low road tax. Insurance costs for the MT 125 are generally competitive, making it a popular choice for new riders, though this will depend on the specific insurance group and rider profile.
Typical maintenance includes regular oil changes, chain adjustments, and tyre replacements. Given the recent MOT history, budget for more frequent chain inspections to ensure the drive system remains in safe working order.
Carefully inspect the steering headbearing; turn the handlebars slowly while the front wheel is off the ground to feel for any 'notchy' movement or excessive play. Check the drive chain tension and look for signs of kinking or premature wear, as this was a specific MOT failure point.
Ensure the nearside front footrest is now securely attached and does not wobble. Finally, check that the registration plate lamp is fully operational and the plate itself meets the specified UK requirements mentioned in the 2025 failure record.
This grey 2022 Yamaha MT 125 has covered 7,910 miles. The MOT history shows a failure in September 2025 involving steering headbearing wear, a loose drive chain, and registration plate issues, though it passed a re-test the following day. It is a modern Euro 5 compliant 124cc petrol motorcycle.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Yamaha MT 125 (MTN 125-A) to establish a general reliability trend.
